In a rapidly changing world, business cannot stand still. There is an ever increasing need to evolve, to move from prescriptive instructions intended to satisfy narrow compliance standards, to systems designed to ensure delivery against organizational commitments. This requires broader, deeper and more intelligent systems with flexibility in their application.
The future of management systems
Organizations of all sizes need to be able to manage risk, the uncertainty of global supply chains and legislative demands. In effect, management systems need to be central to the way modern, successful organizations manage themselves. The challenge facing management systems professionals is designing systems that meet these needs. And, in order to do so, they must become bi-lingual – able to speak the language of business and systems.
Management systems are becoming inextricably linked to assuring the future of the business. As a result, we must start assessing such systems in a different way. They need to be viewed through the prism of an organization’s stakeholders and top management for what they are – business assurance systems.
Management systems have matured to meet the expectations of business. Now certification has grown up to match the evolution – and it is called Business Assurance.
An Accredited Certification Body is an organization accredited by an authorizing body to undertake third party assessment of management systems and to award and withdraw Certificates of registration to these standards. With this extensive range of services, a practice and customer oriented support is guaranteed. Management registration standards represent the best tools and practices available to insure customer expectations are consistently met or exceeded.
